Jacksonville Jaguars

A solid, sensible weekend for the Jaguars: B-.

The Jaguars went off the board in a big way for Jack Pyburn, 49 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The Orange pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.24 · Pick 56 · Dani Dennis-Sutton · DE-EDGE · rank 86
Dani Dennis-Sutton in the Round 2 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R3.17 · Pick 81 · Brenen Thompson · WR · rank 99
They left a pile of value on the table to take Brenen Thompson this early at slot 81. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.24 · Pick 88 · Markel Bell · OT · rank 114
They reached a country mile for Markel Bell at No. 88, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.36 · Pick 100 · Domonique Orange · DT · rank 73
Somehow Domonique Orange was still sitting there in the 100th pick, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.24 · Pick 124 · Bud Clark · S · rank 105
Bud Clark in the 124th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.24 · Pick 164 · Hezekiah Masses · CB · rank 139
Taking Hezekiah Masses in pick No. 164 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.26 · Pick 166 · Marlin Klein · TE · rank 159
Nothing to complain about; Marlin Klein went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.22 · Pick 203 · Pat Coogan · C · rank 204
They took Pat Coogan at par in No. 203, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.17 · Pick 233 · Lander Barton · LB · rank 242
They liked Lander Barton enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 233. The roster fit checks out.
R7.24 · Pick 240 · Jack Pyburn · LB-EDGE · rank 289
Jack Pyburn at the 240th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R7.29 · Pick 245 · Jaydn Ott · RB · rank 248
They paid sticker price for Jaydn Ott in Round 7, Pick 29, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
